Kerala Floods: How It Will Affect the State's Economy

The incessant rains and floods that have ravaged Kerala since the beginning of August have led to widespread destruction of property and displacement, the extent of which is yet to unravel fully.
The impact of the floods on Kerala is quite sharp and the economic consequences significant. This is beyond the suffering caused to the families affected by the flood.
As per primary estimates, rebuilding and reconstruction of most affected districts is likely to have a sizeable economic and financial costs attached to it, says a research report.
In the report, CARE Ratings Ltd says, "An assessment of the destruction, the economic costs and impact of reconstruction is a challenge given the scale and extent of the damages. The rebuilding and reconstruction of the five most affected districts and of the infrastructure destroyed is likely to be a long drawn out process, one which is likely to have a sizeable economic and financial costs attached to it."
The five worst-affected districts of the state’s 14 districts, including Idduki, Ernakulam, Kollam, Kottayam and Pathanamthitta have an estimated population of 11.09 million, which accounts for nearly 30% of the state’s total population.
